Json Bookmarks

This add-on uses a simple json file format for exporting and importing bookmarks in Firefox and Chrome. This makes it easy to sync bookmarks offline between browsers, share subset of your bookmarks with others or backup in a git repository.

Install

• Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/json-bookmarks/.
• Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/json-bookmarks/nalfimhmhafapgfcmajjjgeohmcnlfeh

Format

Chrome and Firefox uses different names for the built-in bookmarks root folders. The bookmarks file format handles this by:

• Substituting "Bookmarks Toolbar" in Mozilla Firefox and "Bookmarks bar" in Chrome with ${BOOKMARKS_BAR}.
• Substituting "Bookmarks Menu" in Mozilla Firefox and "Other bookmarks" in Chrome with ${BOOKMARKS_MENU}.
